Pluralize & Singularize Words

Real English pluralisation rules — sibilants, consonant‑y, ‑f/‑fe, ‑o exceptions, unchanging words, irregulars and Latin/Greek forms — with a count-aware “1 item / 2 items” mode.

Direction

A leading number is read as a count: 1 item stays singular and 2 item becomes 2 items, whichever direction is selected.

About this tool

Pluralisation runs an ordered rule set rather than appending an “s”: sibilant endings take ‑es, consonant + y becomes ‑ies, ‑f/‑fe becomes ‑ves, and ‑o is split into the words that take ‑es (potato, hero) and those that take ‑s (photo, piano). Unchanging words, true irregulars and the Latin/Greek forms are looked up in explicit tables, and the reverse direction applies the mirror rules — with a prefix table so that data → datum and media → medium work. Every answer reports the rule that produced it. Count-aware mode reads a leading number and picks the singular for exactly 1. Everything runs locally in your browser.
